Migraine is a serious condition that causes much pain in the head and sometimes even a stroke-like sensation. If you are someone who has chronic migraine, it is very important to follow a routine that can help you avoid the triggers. The complications of migraine often tend to depend on special situations. However, it can have a detrimental impact in some cases.

What are the Complications of Migraine?

The migraine complications get worse without treatment. Some of the common complications of migraine headaches that you should know about are:

  • Painkillers

Recurrent consumption of painkillers can be a serious complication and it can lead to more headaches. Always make sure that you are taking painkillers after consultation with your healthcare guide. The duration plays a very important role and this can be guided only under medical practice. Too much medication can take away the pain-reducing factor and induce headaches.

  • Sleeplessness

For those who get recurrent migraine attacks, it can be very painful and strenuous. In such a condition, sleeplessness becomes quite the norm. You will feel the maximum discount and stay completely awake at night.

  • Migrainous Infarction

In the most common terms, this is also referred to as a migrainous stroke. This usually happens in very young women. Under high migraine pain, the blood vessels get constricted which hamper the blood flow to the brain. This can further worsen the situation and a sudden migranous stroke can hit. This kind of stroke will often have symptoms like an aura or even flashes of lights.

Conclusion

Some of the lesser-known complications associated with migraine are depression and anxiety, constant feelings of nausea, and even major stomach problems. Ensure that tests required to diagnose migraine as well as the treatment are covered under your health insurance policy.
